Corrosion and its Impact on Infrastructure
Galvanised steel utility poles are strong but vulnerable to ground-line corrosion from moisture, oxygen, soil acidity, and road salts. Harsh environments, like coastal or high-humidity areas, accelerate this damage, leading to costly maintenance, failures, and safety risks. Left unchecked, corrosion shortens pole lifespan, increasing replacement frequency and costs.
Polesaver Rot-Guard™ sleeves prevent corrosion thanks to their durable, dual-layer seal that's created on application. This seal is airtight and waterproof, blocking corrosive elements and preventing rust and corrosion around the ground-line. This proactive protection keeps steel poles structurally sound for decades, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring safer, more reliable utility networks.
